You're going to be rockin' out with the newest characters who are joining the rest of the crew from Dude Time Doodles. In case one of the guys over indulges, Elson Witch Doctor will help him with whatever ails him. Yo' Jimi will help provide some soothing background music (not), and Pierre Painter will try to capture the essence that is Dudeville Holla. All the new guys will be available in the DTD store by 10am EST.

For those of you that are new to our New Release Blog Hop, it is a circular hop. You just keep going until you've hit every one of the Dude or Dudettes. Be sure to leave a comment with each one of us as one of us is the Mystery Host and the winner will be chosen from that host's comments.

So crank up the tunes and let's get started. Kevin (along with the lyrics from the Witch Doctor by the Chipmonks) will provide you with a little taste of what you can expect from this fun adventure into Dudeville Holla.

I Told The Witch Doctor I Was In Love With You!I Told The Witch Doctor You Didn't Love Me Too!And Then The Witch Doctor He Told Me What To Do!He Said That:

Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbangOoh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbangOoh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbangOoh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang

Your first stop will be Dawn. Here's the blog hop list, in case you get distracted along the way.

WOW, we would like to thank all of you who participated in this week's Anything Goes (for a dude) Inspiration Challenge. There were so many amazing entries and it was extremely hard to choose. So we decided to let random.org choose for us...

Can you believe that we are already in the third week of July? We are....and you know what that means. It's time for the Inspiration Challenge and our theme this week is

ANYTHING GOES (as long as it's for a DUDE)

We are so happy to have The Ribbon Carousel as our sponsor for this challenge. The winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to their store.

RibbonCarousel.com is a crafter-owned business established in 2011. As a crafter, the need for a compact, but pretty ribbon storage system was recognized and the Ribbon Carousel was invented. We have expanded our store to include ribbons twines and spools to put on the Ribbon Carousel. Paper, Embellishments, Inks, Cardstock and Tools have followed. We've grown slowly, but steadily, answering the needs of our customers. With a weekly challenge, tutorials and a rockin' Facebook page, our 24 designers offer new and exciting ways to use the products from the store. With 2 new storage devices in the works,RibbonCarousel.com will continue to offer great products at fantastic prices for years to come.

You have one week to upload your project using the InLinz button below. Just remember, you can enter as many times as you wish as long as you don't back link and it has to be for a DUDE. We'd love it if you used a Bonibleaux Designs image, but that's not a requirement.

Now we all know that all the dudes in Dudeville are want-to-be jocks and love to sit back and watch sports on television! So in honor of all the athletes participating in the 2012 Olympics we thought it would be fun to share

How do you do! You arrived just in time to join all the residents of Dudeville Hollow as they gather to celebrate the 4th of July with a "Fun in the Sun" Challenge!

The celebration is taking place on the banks of the beautiful Waterwater River and is being hosted by the Dudettes who are missing the Dude while he recovers from surgery!

Since it never rains in Dudeville Hollow, the fireworks have been cancelled because of the dry conditions! But there's lots to do, plenty to drink and tons of food, possum stew, rattlesnake burgers, horseradish fritters served with candied sauerkraut and prunes for dessert! And of course, for the wee folks, hot dogs!

To join the challenge, make a card suitable for a DUDE demonstrating Fun in the Sun and share it with us! The winner of the challenge will be announced on Tuesday, July 10 and will receive their choice of three images from Bonibleaux Designs.

As you stroll along the riverbank, please enjoy what the design team has created to celebrateFun in the Sun!

I've been making cards for almost 4 yrs. I'm the secretary to my local craft group (Crafty Crafters) every November we have a fund-raising event, to raise money for our local Hospice, to date we have raised £2,100..... I've been happily married to Reg for almost 8 yrs.
